e study how the temperature of the afterglow of the big bang varies from place to place on the sky. The patterns in this primordial radiation--like a fossil of the early universe--help us understand how structure in the universe formed. In addition, if a certain class of cosmological models proves correct, we will be able to determine the cosmological parameters.
